Indian student awarded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship for women in nuclear science
Thursday, 3 April 2025 Hemangi Shrivastava, an Indian master's student at Moscow Power Engineering Institute, has received the prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme for women in nuclear science. The program, supported by the IAEA, aims to increase female participation in the nuclear sector. Rosatom, a key partner, has supported 40 female students over the past four years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the closed city of Sarov, home to the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (VNIIEF), raised alarms as it signaled a possible escalation in nuclear preparations. Joined by top Russian officials, including General Valery Gerasimov and Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev, Putin paid tribute to the designer of the first Soviet atomic bomb and held discussions with nuclear industry personnel. The visit followed a controversial post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Ukraine would have "no chance of winning" unless allowed to strike inside Russia, a comment that sparked tensions.

Wildfires have encircled Turkey’s first nuclear reactor site—the Akkuyu plant in Mersin Province—driven by a brutal drought and heatwave. Russian and Turkish firefighting aircraft, including Be‑200s and Mi‑8 helicopters, are combating the blaze alongside over 10,000 Russian staff and construction workers, joined by Turkish crews.
The plant, built by Rosatom, houses four VVER‑1200 reactors scheduled to start producing power in 2025, making this crisis especially alarming. While no damage to infrastructure has been confirmed, experts warn the fire’s proximity to critical cooling systems poses serious risk. The broader wildfire season has claimed at least 13 lives, including 10 firefighters in Eskisehir, and devastated thousands of hectares. Turkish authorities have declared multiple provinces disaster zones. As global attention fixes on Akkuyu, concerns grow over nuclear safety and climate-driven disaster response in the Mediterranean region.

France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have issued a fiery ultimatum to Iran, warning of severe sanctions if Tehran fails to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. The three European powers, collectively known as the E3, accuse Iran of accelerating uranium enrichment and blocking key inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The warning comes amid stalled negotiations and mounting fears that Iran is edging closer to weapons-grade capabilities.

Tensions escalated near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed hearing explosions and spotting rising smoke from a nearby auxiliary facility under reported shelling and drone attack. The plant, Europe’s largest and among the top 10 globally, has been under Russian control since March 2022. The blasts began around 9 a.m. and continued through the afternoon, just 1,200 meters from the main plant.
IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that any military activity near nuclear facilities poses a severe threat to global nuclear safety. Meanwhile, new Greenpeace satellite imagery reveals Russia’s attempt to integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant into its energy grid, laying over 80 km of high-voltage power lines from occupied Mariupol and Berdyansk. This incident adds to growing concerns over the militarization and misuse of critical nuclear infrastructure in the ongoing Ukraine war.

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month.
